Town hall charges

In the year WDC have named 2018 as their YEAR OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE, they have decided to increase their fees of hiring the Town Hall by 200%. We at Clydebank Juniors Musical Society, a registered charity, will now be unable to perform our annual show.This would mean the club would close. This club was set up in 19** with the sole purpose of allowing kids an introduction to the arts,children who cannot afford the luxury of private dance/drama classes. These clubs are not merely a place to hang out for a sing song...they build life long skills in our children our future! !! Confidence, team building , leadership qualities...skills which many have carried into further education in Musical Theatre and in the workplace. Giving non academic non sport driven kids a place in the world....a chance in life. So much has been taken from Clydebank already, surely OUR Town Hall should be honing in and encouraging it's own young people. In a town housing low income families this is a venue where they are able to afford to take their families to enjoy the benefits of the theatre.......What now? Please sign our petition to stop yet more children of Clydebank never realising what a great Town this once was.
